Utah is a western state of the United States, in the Rocky Mountains region.

Utah is one of the Four Corners states and is bordered by Idaho and Wyoming in the north, by Colorado in the east, by New Mexico to the southeast across the Four Corners, by Arizona in the south, and by Nevada in the west.

Utah was not able to generate any offense, and even when they pulled the goalie the Pens kept the play in the Utah end until the final horn sounded.

Utah had an excellent scoring chance in the second when Dylan Gyori followed up his own shot, and put the rebound past MacDonald, but the puck found the inside of the right post and bounced clear of the crease.
